DUAL BEAM HEADLAMP

摘要

A headlamp assembly for projecting light in a forward direction along an optical axis is provided. The headlamp assembly may include a housing, a low beam light emitting device, a high beam light emitting device, a low beam lens, a high beam lens, and a reflector. The low beam and high beam light emitting devices may be arranged in the housing and include first and second planar surfaces, respectively, from which light is emitted. The normal to the first and second planar surfaces may be oriented away from the optical axis at substantially forty-five degrees in relation to the optical axis. The normal to the second planar surface may be oriented away from the normal to the first planar surface at substantially ninety degrees.

1. A headlamp assembly operable to project light in a forward direction along an optical axis, the headlamp assembly comprising:
a housing; a low beam light emitting device arranged in the housing and having a first planar surface from which light is emitted, the normal to the first planar surface of the low beam light emitting device being oriented away from the optical axis at substantially forty-five degrees in relation to the optical axis; a high beam light emitting device arranged in the housing and having a second planar surface from which light is emitted, the normal to the second planar surface of the high beam light emitting device being oriented away from the optical axis at substantially forty-five degrees in relation to the optical axis and being oriented away from the normal to the first planar surface at substantially ninety degrees; a low beam lens arranged in the housing to receive a portion of the light emitted from the low beam light emitting device and operable to direct the light in the forward direction along the optical axis; a high beam lens arranged in the housing to receive a portion of the light emitted from the high beam light emitting device and operable to direct the light in the forward direction along the optical axis; and a reflector arranged in the housing to receive a remaining portion of the light emitted from the low beam light emitting device and a remaining portion of the high beam light emitting device and reflect the remaining portions of the light in the forward direction along the optical axis.
